About Christopher
**Best for solo travellers, older visitors, couples, and small groups who want a relaxed local experience at a comfortable pace**
Based in Ventry and Dingle, I offer relaxed local walk, hike, sea swim, and bike outings for visitors who want to experience the Dingle Peninsula at a comfortable pace.
These are not extreme adventure tours. They are about getting outdoors, enjoying the scenery, hearing local stories, and getting the inside track on one of the most beautiful parts of Ireland.
As a lifelong weather enthusiast, daily sea swimmer, and local guide, I shape each outing around the people taking part, the weather, the tide, and the conditions on the day. Tours can be gentle, scenic, and easygoing, or a little more active if that suits you.
The areas covered include Ventry, Dingle, nearby coastal routes, quiet backroads, beaches, safe swim spots, local viewpoints, and places visitors can easily miss.
Most outings are 2 to 4 hours, making them ideal for solo travellers, older visitors, couples, and small groups who want a relaxed local experience without committing to a full day. A tour might be a gentle coastal walk, help finding a safe place to swim, a swim followed by a sauna, a relaxed local bike route, or time for coffee and a chat.
No special experience is needed. Just bring comfortable clothes, curiosity, and a willingness to see Ventry and Dingle like a local.
2-hour outing: from €120 solo / €150 for 2 people 3-hour outing: from €180 solo / €225 for 2 people 4-hour half-day: from €240 solo / €300 for 2 people Extras such as sauna, bike hire, food, or transport are charged separately. *ventryweather.com/book
For solo/couple travellers, I can usually arrange a convenient meeting point in Ventry or Dingle, and where practical I may be able to meet you at your accommodation. Any pick-up or transfer must be agreed in advance and is offered only as part of the guided outing, not as a standalone transport service.

My name is Gideon Kaltenbacher. I come from Germany and I have been living in Ireland for 20 years. I am currently based in Tralee, Co. Kerry. I offer walking tours in German and English in Tralee and in Killarney, but also in Cork and Dublin. I have several different tours on offer for these locations and 2 for Tralee, 2 for Killarney. I teil you stories and history, but also let you dive into the Irish culture and I connect you with locals. You can combine my walking tours with visits to visitor attractions, like for example the Kerry County Museum or the Killarney House.

As an experienced tour guide with Galway Civic Trust, I have a deep passion for sharing the rich history and natural beauty of Galway and the West of Ireland. I lead engaging and informative tours that highlight medieval Galway, the unique Claddagh village, the Waterways of Galway and the Famine of Galway. As a Regional and National Tour Guide, my tours provide visitors with a broader understanding of our culture, heritage and appreciation of Connemara, the Burren and the Wild Atlantic Way. Being a true nature enthusiast, I offer a wealth of knowledge about the local flora, fauna and wildlife conservation issues. My immersive tours offer something truly special for the visitor.
